Trump promised to dismantle the Department of Education. He's now gutted it.



ACLU Supporter, Donald Trump promised to dismantle the Department of Education – and he just gutted it. This is a direct attack on children and parents.

This week, the Trump administration closed key offices and fired half of the Department of Education's workforce, putting millions of students' education and civil rights at risk. Congress can and must put a stop to this – and it is up to all of us to make sure they do: Send a message to your reps and tell them to protect the Department of Education now. <[link removed]>

Take Action <[link removed]>

We knew that Trump was willing to use our very education system to push his own political agenda. Our legal team already filed a lawsuit in response to the president's threats to slash funding to schools that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Now, Trump is blatantly attempting to bypass Congress to eliminate the government's commitment to ensuring every student – regardless of where they live, their family's income, or their race, sex, gender identity, or disability – has equal access to education.

This reckless move will make it much harder for students to seek justice when their rights are violated – and also puts key federal grant programs at risk, including IDEA funding for students with disabilities, federal student loan programs, and Title I funding for schools serving low-income communities.

We can't let the Trump administration destroy our public schools and attack our students like this, ACLU Supporter. Tell your representatives now to stop Donald Trump from dismantling the Department of Education. <[link removed]>
